The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

There was an opensource program called "preferred search" which I used to use....

Yeah, I used to use that program, too, and it is, I think, still available in SourceForge (sourceforge.net: Compare B2B Software, Download, & Develop Open Source & Business Software ). The author has said he got tired of Yahoo's constantly altering how to download its stock data. The code itself, being opensource, may well be available on SourceForge for anyone to work with.

It would be good enough for me, at least in the near- and mid-term, if the parts of the code that queried Yahoo's [pricing] data were simply bypassed/eliminated. I can look up my own pricing data once I've culled the preferred stock universe enough to suit me.
